Midbar

Midbar - the hebrew word for "wilderness". A desolate and uninhabited place where you have nothing to cling on. And because of that, it is where you can hear His voice the clearest. The wilderness experience for Moses was intimate...

So the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend...

And He said, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." Then he said to Him, "If Your presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here...

Exodus: 33: 11... 14, 15

The wilderness brings with it a complex mix of frustration, waiting and longing. But may I never forget to cling on to your presence, O Lord. If Your presence doesn't follow me, I don't want to go there.

hey babes, it's nice to read your blog again, the last post was so long ago. pretty touched by your sharing. i guess we all have our crosses to bear and at one point or another in our lives, we will wander through our own "wilderness". i am grateful for mine even though sometimes it seems unbearable, because it is only in that place that i have truly come to know what it means to rely on Him completely and without compromise. i am learning how to wait patiently and i believe that He has a wonderful purpose for you as well as for me. so take heart babe. :)
